The motor stock is about 276, now the us version of this motor was about 320. The difference is the cam and the inj, the us spec came with 550 cc and the jdm came with 440cc primarly because the motor was in a luxury car. But all u have to do is swap em out and with few more additions u can easily be at 400 to da wheels on the stock set up.

If I understand what I saw on the video the guy was still on stock everything except went to a single Turbo and was pushing 457 to the rear wheels?

He also speaks of tuning... can the factory ECM be tuned or does it require after market fuel management?

[Dave-O]

Sounds about right.

The OEM ECM cannot be tuned that I know of. Most people who tune 2JZs go with an Apex PowerFC or AEM standalone.

[strang3majik]

wow...quite a change since I saw it...lol

Looks good, man.  Good work.

Yes he dropped the twins for the single, everything else was stock. He made 457 to da wheels. He will be using a piggy back to help with fuel.

Yes, thanks. i should have done this a long time ago. When are you going to be back in the area?

It depends on your power goals.

You can use a $250 SAFC II or a $5,000 Motec and everything inbetween, MAP ECU, HKS F-CON, Greddy Emanage, AEM FI/C, AEM EMS, Haltec, Autronic, Pro-EFI.  


That GT45 depending on which version(78 or 80.8mm) it is will make WAY more power. That is a BIG turbo and is fully capable of making 700rwhp@18psi on pump gas and well over 1000rwhp at full tilt with C16 if the wastegate doesn't choke it.  Unless its the Ebay "GT45", then who knows.

looks great man congrats. did you just hammer out your trans tunnel or did you cut it out and section it. i couldnt get min to fit up into the tunnel that snug. i cut the rubber out of my tranny mount and shortened it to about 3" and well solid mounts suck. i dunno how the car is gonna run with the 2j in it on the stock rear gears but with the 4g63 and r154 off boost kinda sucks 1st gear is more like 2nd but then again i have no torque.

Actuallyi didn't have to use the BFH, i'm using the w58 tranny. It's not as wide as the ri54.

intercooler, the one i used was a bit taller but this one will be a bit better cuz it will allow more air for the radiator and should fir between the rails.

Exhaust, i used my existing exhaust and used some pipes i had laying around to tie it in. u will need a 90, depending on where u cut it, a straight. make sure the flange is there if planning on keeping the twins. hope this helps anyone else attempting to do this.

Very nice. Let me know how that W58 holds up, I can get them for pretty cheap locally, and might consider one for a 4G63 swap in the Conquest.

Will do, from reading the supra forums there holding around 470. Thats good enough for me until i get the r model.

I personally know a guy running a 2j quest in brooklyn red r04 with nothing but a vpc+safc. when that set up was in the supra with went 10's all day. the turbo is a gt42

Since "tuning" is something new for me... what is a VPC?

lol...well...now its done.  And, I probably won't be back up there till Christmas...then summer again.  So...just keep her running that long

VPC stands for Vein Pressure Converter, which electronically and physically removes the highly restrictive mass airflow sensor from the intake tract. It's commonly used with a BCC(boost cut eliminator).

Thanks... I think....

Oh well, hopefully one of these days I will be able to get into this a bit.  Anyone up in Phoenix doing this sort of thing?

You joining us down in Tucson this coming Saturday?

[JustPaus_88TSi]

Desert_Starions old neighbor swapped a 2JZ into his, he lives in Phoenix.  I've never seen him online though.

Other than that, I can only think of Tony at UMS who bought his daughter a SQ. He mentioned wanting to drop a twin turbo 350z motor into it.


If you meant is anyone doing this sort of thing with 2JZ's in general, then yes. AZ has some of the fastest supra's in the country, with a few shops who build them.

If u get the jdm motor u wont have to worry about getting a vpc because it has a map sensor just the fcd.

please don't go through 6 2jz motors in 1 year like you did the quest.
